I thinks things have gone way to exspensive when done the change over more countries are going to crumble Portugal is in serious trouble i think.

Looks that way. The countries that stayed out dont seem to have had any adverse reaction to doing so. At least you control your own destiny to a point financially

biggles90000: Ok ladys and gent did Ireland make a mistake by transfering over to the Euro what are your views on this?
Im definatly no authority on money...
But wasn't the euro doing ok before the economic crash.
...Sure, Greece, Portugal and I expect Italy had there own problems, but as i recall, in 2006 we had gigantic cash surpluses...
Have I got the wrong end of the stick...
Seems like the euro was a victim of global economic circumstance...
Incidentally, I polled NO...
Just a thought...

Honestly Biggs, I dont know...
I moved out here tail end of 2002, by which time you had moved currency...Im my times with the punt (holidaying) I would hardly have been minding the pound / punt exchange rate...
When i moved over stg/euro was 1 quid/1 euro 50...
Or 66 pence to the euro...
Obviously, with travelling ive seen the euro devalued so i guess a part of the answer is there...
Yes, the euro is not the "sure thing" it was say 5 years ago...
